Good but weak at first. The nights have been very cold, but after two weeks, the hollyhocks have taken well.

Description

Alcea rosea 'Spring Celebrities Pink' is a compact hollyhock with pink double flowers. It is ideal for pots and borders.

The hollyhock is a short-lived perennial grown as an annual. It has a rapid growth rate with upright, unbranched stems that can reach 75cm (30in). Its light green leaves are lobed and rough. The beautiful pink flowers are 5cm (2in) double cups, arranged along the stem. The flowers bloom from July to October and are popular with butterflies.

The hollyhock should be planted in full sun or partial shade, in pots or borders, in ordinary soil.

Our tip: pair it with Alcea rosea 'Spring Celebrities White' for a dazzling display.
